Good info here. Liners are a great option, and layering know-how is key. Avoiding sleeping bag compression is another good tip you mentioned. However, I've used a wool blanket draped over my O* sleeping bag to great effect to substantially INCREASE the overall R-value (I went from feeling...

Tent heaters are great as supplements for added comfort (I plan on adding a diesel heater to my setup), but a friendly PSA to anyone new to camping in cold weather: do not depend on the reliable operation of your heater for your survival. Always have a solid contingency plan for if the heater...

Are you referring to on-road capability of AWD over 4x4 such as patchy ice? I cannot imagine any off-road scenario where a Subaru would come close to approaching the capability of a 4x4 Wrangler, especially the likes of beach sand.

Glad to see you getting some sand on the tires! It sounds like you had a great experience and learned a little more about your vehicle and how it performs in those conditions. Open beaches are some of my favorite playgrounds, and I've spent 20+ years exploring the Texas coast. I put together...

I hunt some in Texas (white tail, wild hogs, coyotes, and dove), but make it up to Colorado each year for an elk hunt. Elk: Tikka T3x Lite 300 Win Mag Deer: Rem 700 .308 Hogs & Coyotes: PSA-15 6.5 Grendel (night) or .224 Valkyrie (day) Birds: Benelli Nova 12ga

Nice work! What light kit is that? Do you have a writeup of the whole setup?

The last thing was an annex for the RTT (Black Friday deal). My son and I decided to set it up in the driveway and watch some TSTN and Monday Night Football. We call it our "mobile man-cave"! :laughing: Next will be some extra poles to support the mini-awning "flaps".

Here are a few of my thoughts: 1. Sleep System: sleeping bag with a survival rating of at least 20* lower than the ambient temp + sleeping pad (e.g. Thermarest) to insulate you from the cold underneath; an extra wool blanket to throw over the top is also a good idea, just in case 2. Clothing...

I have a Skycamp Mini, and I would say you would need to get pretty creative to comfortably fit two adults and a dog in the tent with you. If your wife is short and the dog is small, you could potentially make it work. You also need to think about where to put any overnight gear you'll want to...

Here are some of my favorites (some of these channels span multiple categories, but I'll only list them once): 1. The Story Till Now, Lifestyle Overland, Venture2Roam, Epic Family Road Trip 2. The Outdoor Gear Review (directed at camping, not overlanding) 3. BleepinJeep 4. Dirt Lifestyle...

To answer the OP's original question, I believe the answer is no. For people who WANT to do something, they'll find a way. For those that don't, they'll find an excuse. If a grown man says to me, "overlanding is not for me because it is too expensive", I interpret that as, "I'm just not that...
